Here's my yahdbyrd. Dry brined for in the fridge for two days. Then oiled it up put some salt & pepper garlic & onion powder and some of Paul Prudhomme's poultry magic. Cooked it over a full load of lump and 4 pieces of cherry wood with the heat deflectors in place. Filled an aluminum pan with carrots, onions, celery, water, and some chicken stock. Slapped the Byrd on at 350° and let it roll till the breast read 160°. Best Byrd yet!

I have not been active on here in a while because i haven't been cooking for a while too busy. yeah i know you should never be too busy to cook. I opted for something non traditional for t-day this year. we are going to families on friday and i was told that they would cook the turkey..... not sure if they doubt my skills or just dont like smoked anything?? I decided to cook for the home team this thanksgiving and do some rib therapy. ran around 250 for about 4 and 1/2 hours, rub with mustard night before and sprayed with some apple juice, cider vinegar, jim beam, and brown sugar, every 40min or so during the cook. turned in some good ribs!!!! (had some baked beans, yam patties candied, slaw, shells and cheese, and rolls to go with it) Great thanksgiving!!

Note: You can easily use a store-bought pizza dough for this recipe if you choose.

Combine the yeast and water and let dissolve for 10-15 minutes. Add the melted butter.

Wisk the dry ingredients together in a separate mixing bowl.

After the yeast has dissolved, combine with the dry ingredients and knead by hand or in a mixer with a dough hook until there is no sign of dry flour left. Cover with plastic in mixing bowl and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the grill to 375°F and set up for indirect cooking on a pizza stone.

Mix together completely by hand and then form into individual meatballs of whatever size you like. Place on the grill over indirect heat and cook until you reach an internal temperature of about 160°F. Remove from the grill and set aside. These can be done in advance and put in the refrigerator until ready to use.
